Sure, but significant context has been lost between the origin of the mileage comment and here. The original comment was about most people averaging less than 6k per year. It’s both easily provable and probably obvious to you that you drive less than most. But seriously, good for you. I’d double your annual mileage…

Yeah. Most people aren’t dailying them. It’s a 2nd or 3rd fun car.

So Tom if you were considering a Boxster/Cayman, how many miles would be your “stay away” level? Are they generally good past 60k? (In Canada, so approx 100k km)

I am being forced to admit that I don’t know what a “Yammie” is...

Ah. Sounds like he was bringing it up to a higher standard than the previous owner maintained it. Quite understandable, and also not representative of recurring maintenance costs.
Thanks very much for the explanation.

Watching the video, he said he did a lot of things because he was going to track the car. A lot of his purchases or expenses were for upgraded parts or replacing bushings/parts that even he said weren’t necessary after inspecting the old parts.

Ever driven one? (honest question)

Not shitting on any Americans, cause mountainous areas receive a shit ton of snow, but here in Newfoundland, my town gets an average of 200 inches each year. That’s right, 17 feet. Every year.

“Cleveland on average has received 62.5 inches of snow annually over the last half-century.”

I was going to make a joke about how the Cardinals being in the Trashcan is redundant as Arizona is America’s Trashcan but then I started wondering if Arizona is more the country’s trashcan or ashtray and I forgot my dumb joke.

It’s not just California. It rains 11 months out of the year up here in Seattle and folks don’t seem to know how to handle it. God forbid we get a dusting of snow. It might take you 6 hours to get home.

Lived in Denver for 12 years... one inch of snow in Seattle is a lot more dangerous than one foot of snow in Denver. Mostly because Seattle is hilly and the streets suck.

It’s not just that! The initial rain on roads that haven’t seen rain in a while actually is more dangerous. Frequent rain keeps the buildup of crud and oil to a minimum. In areas that haven’t had decent precipitation in a while, that stuff mixes with the rain to make a *slightly* more slippery surface.

They are sending me. Hope early 40's, balding with some minor moobs is ok. I’m pretty nice though. Oh, and I’ll be high.

According to the NFL, guys getting shot up with Demerol before games and knocking back Vicodin 4 times a day during the week is preferable to smoking some pot.

It’s not just not being used to it (which is an issue), it’s that even the wetter parts of the state don’t get enough rain to keep the roads from turning into an oil slick when the rain does happen. A college pal from upstate New York compared it to driving on ice after she moved to CA.

I lived in Mississippi one hellish winter, they got an inch, an INCH, of snow one day and everything closed. Even the AF base.

I grew up in eastern Washington, but have lived on the west side for the last 15 or so years. I love snow, driving in it is fun! Commuting in it isn’t as much fun. It seems that the farther north you go, theres an improved percentage of drivers who at least have a clue.

I sure do miss those snow days in the PNW. They always would cancel school when a 1/2 inch of snow would fall.

Snow around the freezing temperature has the tendency thaw and freeze to ice and just behave slippery, also can cause pools of standing water/slush. Kind of hard to explain... I found it much easier driving at -15C (5F) or below when the roads are simply plowed to compact snow and sanded. I found they had more grip…
